I have an ajax call attached to the click event of a pic inside a table row. Once the pic is clicked and the click event initiated, I need to grab the first and second td
elements from that row. I'm new to jQuery so what I have below is my latest attempt (not working..). The variables firstName
and lastName
both wind up being undefined
after those lines are executed
$('.checkErrors').click(function () {
var firstName = $(this).parent('tr td:first-child').val();
var lastName = $(this).parent('tr td:nth-child(2)').val();
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '@Url.Action("GetErrors","AgentTransmission")',
data: { term: $(this).attr('id') },
.
.
});
});
Here is a sample table row. The image in the last td
element contains the .click
event. I would like to grab the first two that contain the text "phinneas" and "ferbseven".
<tr>
<td>
phinneas
</td>
<td>
ferbseven
</td>
<td nowrap>
7735
</td>
<td>
Agent
</td>
<td>
SAF
 
07070900
</td>
<td>

<td>
DANTAK
</td>
<td class="errorPlus">
Error
</td>
<td>
<a href="/AgentTransmission/Details/2358">Details</a>
<span> | </span>
<a href="/AgentTransmission/Edit/2358">Edit</a>
</td>
<td align=center id=2358>
<img src="/Content/images/magnify.gif" class="checkErrors" id=2358 alt="Program Details" />
</td>
</tr>
